Ciao McCain

McCain's run is over. But it was over before it even started. It was over when the democrats took control of the house, when the "Mission Accomplished" turned into +3,000 fallen young Americans, when the credit market collapsed. McCain's main mistake was running for a crumbling Republican party. The people could only take so much Reganomics, Persian Gulf Wars and deregulated markets before saying enough is enough. And it is finally enough. Years of failed policies implemented by Republican presidents have totally collapsed the GOP. The people simply no longer believe that the GOP has their best interest in mind: it took a huge hit in the economy for the people to wake up and realize they have been wronged, but it has finally happened. The only reason that McCain was so close to Obama in the polls was because people truly bought the "Maverick" image he portrayed. He made people believe that he was not blindly aligned to the party's platform but rather that he had platform of his own, a platform whose one and only issue was the welfare of America. But McCain's "Mavericky" star has fallen, with countless attacks on Obama that rather than focusing on policy focused on silly fucking things like "Obama wants to teach sex ed to kindergarteners" or that he associates himself with terrorists. His campaign has collapsed because rather than capitalizing on his image as an independent senator he has religiously followed the Bush-Rove protocol for winning an election. He has pandered to the religious right against his own beliefs, contradicted himself on everything from torture to deregulation, and his VP choice for the ticket has been an insult to all of America. McCain has failed, the Republican party and its very platform has failed.
